Why is the Polar OH1 heart rate monitor not detecting my heart rate during a training session with a Polar wrist unit?

If the Polar OH1 heart rate monitor is not detecting your heart rate during a training session with a Polar wrist unit, you can troubleshoot the issue by following these steps: 1. Ensure that the Polar OH1 is properly positioned on your forearm or upper arm. Make sure it is snugly worn and in constant contact with your skin. Avoid placing the sensor directly on tattoos, as it may affect the accuracy of the readings. 2. Check the tightness of the armband or swimming goggle strap holder. It should be secure enough to keep the sensor in place but not too tight to restrict blood flow. 3. Warm up your skin before starting the heart rate measurement. This can be done by rubbing your hands together or gently massaging the area where the sensor is placed. This helps improve blood circulation and ensures accurate readings. 4. Make sure the Polar OH1 is turned on by pressing the button until the LED indicator is switched on. The green LED should blink once every two seconds when your heart rate is detected. 5.
